This is what frustrates me so much about the deepening surveillance state: it just doesn’t work the way that its architects believe it will.

It makes sense that a high-tech barrier is relatively sparsely manned on a given day if the idea is to automate as much of the defense apparatus as possible. And it would be doubly embarrassing if the reports that Israel was warned of a potential attack were true.

They did not configure PagerDuty or VictorOps escalation policy properly. Low man power can only be justified by operation excellence in monitoring.

Surely though the actual surveillance part is worse lol
